Eli Brennan is a mystery. After fleeing his backwater hometown in Mississippi he finds himself in New York, seeking anonymity among the nameless crowds of people. With no idea how to survive on his own, Eli must witness the radical change with fledgling eyes--a trial made worse as he is soon followed by a vindictive detective. There is little time to learn and adjust while trying to remain free, and Eli discovers that he must not only contend with his new life on the run, but with the rise of a serial killer who mirrors his arrival as well.

She has a steady job as a hairstylist, rents a small apartment next door to her best friend, and keeps a routine that distracts her just enough to not have to dwell on her past. All seems right in her world until a homeless man who's on the FBI's Most Wanted list comes barreling through the salon, effectively ripping apart all the hard work she put into her life. Now she is forced to live as a fugitive from the law alongside the infuriating man who might just be the one to drag the skeletons out of her closet. Between her unresolved past and his unsure future, Constance works to clear his name so she can go back to living inconspicuously before the FBI catches them, or worse before the Mafia catches her. *** Luca didn't want to get attached.
